...over one essay that she was too lazy to turn in
okay so i'm going to just rant here and i'm going to be all over the place but i am just so mad right now
so basically the school she was going to was like a college prep school. the students stayed in their dorms, built their own schedules, and could earn up to like, 40 hours of college credit. and it was way cheaper than actually attending a college, since tuition for a year only costs $300.
but the thing is, you can't have more than one D by the end of the semester or you're out. at one point my sister had three D's but managed the get herself to only one after spending several weeks on "academic probation." she was doing really well until my dad saw that she didn't turn in one essay when it was due and now she has two D's. he told her that she still had the chance to get in touch with the teacher and maybe work something out to fix her grade, but she said no.
this really kind of pisses me off that she'd just throw it all away like that, because now she has to come back to school with me again. she was going to a school with people who shared her interests and where she had more independence than she did here. but now she's coming back to a school where she never had any academic challenge, was stuck with classmates who never worked and only annoyed her and disrupted classes, etc etc
really, the students here are absolutely awful. they're the most disrespectful forgetwads i've ever seen and to them, a D is a good grade. there's absolutely no challenge at the high school here but yet almost everyone seems to struggle with even the easiest concepts. the school she went to had kids who knew how to behave and could actually complete simple tasks.
my thoughts are kind of everywhere but i guess that's because i'm so pissed that she'd just throw away the world of opportunity that college prep school gave her simply over one essay
